and useful Improvements in anqAntiseptic these acetates, and of simllar Composition Containing the Acetic Acid Ester of a- Phenol, of which the following is a specification.

I have experimentally discovered that the acetic acid ester of a phenol, su ch as cresylacetate, 'phenyl-acetate, etc., (pheuyl-acetate, for example, splitting up by the action,

for instance, of caustic soda, intoxabout seventy per cent. of pheno.l.carbol1cacid-end sodium-acetate) are splendid non-irritant the very also less POISOII- and noncaustic substitutes for caustic phenols themselves, ous and less coagulant for albumen, still possessing, however, the value-0f the phenol as an analgesic and antiseptic. I have for thermore found that the value of these :ace tates as pharmaceutical and cosmetical nonescharotic antiseptics and analgesics can be still more accentuatedby the addition of varying percentages of compounds soluble in effect as, for

example, the essential oils.
